SRI ALAVANDAR VAIBHAVAM-5

Aalavandar and his sishyas reached the place where kurugaikAvalappan was 
inyOgam. Not wanting to disturb him from his samAdhi state, they were extra 
cautious to, not to sneeze or cough or even make slightest of the sound dueto 
footsteps and hid themselves behind a wall. After sometime, appan got out of 
his yOgam and asked, ?Is there anyone over here who belongs to chottai kulam 
(Acharya kulam)? Hearing this Alavandar came forward and said ?adiyen yamunai 
thuraivar here? and fell in the feet of appan. Then yamunai thuraivar 
surprisingly asked appan ?how you came to know that we were here, when we were 
hiding behind a wall?? For this appan replied, ?when I and emperuman were 
deeply involved in our anubhavams, he was least perturbed, even when piratti 
approached him with love. But the same sarvEswaran tried to see someone, 
pressing my shoulders, three or four times?. Then I came to a conclusion that 
somebody from chottai kulam must be presentover here. Alavandar was astonished 
by this reply and with great respects, requested appan to give him the yoga 
rahasyam. Appan also accepted to teach him the same, but at a later time, 
before he leaves this body and this world (sarErAvasanam).  

He also told Aalavandar that, the next pushya maasam, gurupushya yogam, 
andAbhijinmuhurtham would be the date of his departure from this samsaric 
world. Not stopping with this, he also gave this in writing and told him to 
come before the said date. Accepting this, Alavandar returned back to Srirangam 
(Periya Kovil)

Then on a day of thiruvadhyayanam of Namperumal, while listening to 
thiruvadhyayanam, Azhwar thiruvaranga perumal arayar recited and acted the 
verses from ThiruvAimozhi starting with ?kedum Edar?. Arayar looked into the 
face of Alavandar and repeated the line ?nadaminO namargallulleer 
nAmmumakkariyach chonnOm? (Start now! I am saying for you to understand) number 
of times. Alavandar on listening to this thought that, it is high time forhim 
to leave for Anandapuram, to have the darshan of emperuman, as per thewish of 
Azhwar. Hence he sought the permission from Namperumal and left for 
Thiruvanandapuram. He also instructed DeivavAri Aandaan to be the in charge 
until his return.  

Aalavandaar thereby reached thiruvanandapuram and had good darshan of emperuman 
and stayed there doing service to emperuman (?padamudai aravil pallipayindra 
anandapuraththu ammAn?). Meanwhile, one fine day he asked his shisyas to get 
the document given by kurugaikAvalappan specifying his departure from this 
samsAra mandalam and to his surprise and sorrow found the day on the document 
to be that day. He was shock struck and felt bad that hedidn?t have a pushpaka 
vimAnam(today?s flight) to fly to see appan breathe his last and also get the 
yoga rahasyam from him.
